A quick lip routine can make colour feel easier to wear. Start with comfort, then choose the finish you enjoy.
Start with the finish
A balm gives a soft, low-maintenance look. Gloss adds shine and can be worn alone or over colour. If you are choosing between shades online, compare product photos in natural light where possible and read the product description for undertone and finish. Screen colours can vary.
Keep your lips comfortable
Apply a balm when your lips feel dry, especially before a colour product. Avoid scrubbing irritated skin. For a neat edge, apply a small amount of gloss from the centre outward and build gradually. Blot excess if you prefer a softer finish.
Make it yours
A clear or subtle gloss works for an easy everyday look; a more noticeable shade can be your finishing touch. There is no single shade that suits everyone, so choose a colour you feel comfortable wearing.
